If you just want clear cellophane there is a 100 metre roll for sale on Ebay for around £18.50 including postage, spotted that earlier.

hiya, now inspired by the current trend in hamperism, just wondered what the hamper ettiquette is ? once they are wrapped in cellophane do you give them like that or wrap them in xmas paper? as i usually drop preesies off a few days before?? what is the done thing in the world of hampers?

I have decided to put them in boxes and then wrap the box in christmas paper. (i'm going to add an arrow and the words 'this way up' so that no-one tips them:D

WOW - They look LOVELY - I WISH i was part of your family i would love any one of these.

It is excellent seeing what they actually look like - if they were on sale in a shop i would definitely buy them! plus they are so thoughtful. I bet they will love them.

I was thinking about this the other day as the ones for my BIL & SIL will be given a couple of days before - have decided to line the cellophane with tissue paper. HTH

Ohh - they are all really fab - I'm really inspired now.

I am going to my sisters for Christmas Dinner so I think I will do an 'after dinner' hamper for all of us with chocolate liquers / christmas cake / mince pies / crackers (the ones you pull) nuts / filter coffee / biscuits / wine ... still thinking of things to add to the list (not sure if we will have room for all that though after the size of the dinner she usually produces!!
